"Toad meat? Can you eat toad meat? ”

After all, the eldest sister is just a mountain girl who has never seen much of the world, and she feels disgusted when she looks at the frog's head, skin, and internal organs on the chopping board.

"You can eat it, the fourth uncle said that Cantonese people not only eat toads, but also eat mice and cats."

Mouse? The eldest sister felt even more disgusted when she heard this, retched a few times, and asked with a dark face: "Then why don't you eat it?" ”

"Hehe", Li Jiaming laughed a few times, and said, "Don't I feel disgusting too?"

"Then you still give it to Sister Man and Sister Wen?"

Seeing that the eldest sister began to raise her eyebrows, Li Jiaming hurriedly explained in a whisper: "Eldest sister, this thing can be eaten and nutritious, but it is a little disgusting, and Sister Man and Sister Wen don't know, so they are not disgusting." Wenwen's health is so poor, it's just that he lacks nutrition, it's not that I can't get meat. ”

"Don't give it to Manmei, she is so fat, what nutrients do she lack?"

This is not good, this thing is good, not only tastes good but also has high protein, Li Jiaming hurriedly retorted: "Eldest sister, she is fat, not in good health, and she was sent to the hospital with a high fever last time!" Look at the dogs and hairy dogs, which one has had any disease? Isn't it just that the family conditions are good, and eating well will make the body good? ”

Although the eldest sister has not had good grades, she also graduated from junior high school and knows the importance of nutrition to people.

"Yes, but not for them to see, do you hear?"

"Hey, I'm just afraid that they won't dare to eat it, and then hide it from them", Li Jiaming agreed, took out the two bowls of meat porridge from the rice retort with a clean rag, and carefully put it in the innermost part of the cupboard, and covered it with two vegetable bowls, so that the aroma could not float out.

fooled the eldest sister over, and Li Jiaming showed his cooking skills under her gaze. It's just that Li Jiaming, who is not yet tall, is standing on a chair with feet, half of his body is lying on the stove, struggling to stir-fry vegetables with a big spatula, which is really a bit pitiful, and the eldest sister feels a little uncomfortable.

"Ming Yan, it's better for the eldest sister to help you, right?"

Li Jiaming shoveled the fried beans into the vegetable bowl, wiped the sweat on his forehead with his thin arms, and said indifferently: "Eldest sister, can you help me for a day and a month, and can you help me for a year or a lifetime?" ”

Hearing this, the eldest sister felt sour, turned her head and wiped her eyes, before reaching out to help serve the food, and sighed like an adult: "Mingya, you are not as good as your family virtue in reading, but you are much more sensible than him." ”

"Hey, hey, hey, he has three older brothers, of course he doesn't care about anything. If Sister Wen is older than me, I guarantee that she will be like you and take care of me in turn. ”

Li Jiaming's sycophants made the eldest sister who has always taken care of her younger siblings feel sour, and she felt very proud, "That is, when you are an older brother and sister, you must have the appearance of being an older brother and sister!" I can't get used to the appearance of the eldest and second men, as if they can read, they are quite amazing! ”

The eldest sister's unintentional emotion made Li Jiaming's face hot, the 'impression' of himself is not a good brother, except that the younger sister will come out when she is bullied, and she is usually busy with her own business. After finishing reading, I looked for a job, got busy with work, quit my job to start a business, and was so busy every day that I kicked the back of my head with my heels. In the first few years after graduation, even the eldest sister who works in the same city has to wash the dirty clothes, and occasionally make a phone call back to her hometown, and after caring about the old father who refuses to drag him down, she will ask the younger sister about the situation by the way.

Li Jiaming's face was flushed, the eldest sister didn't know that he was guilty, and thought that the heat in the pot was hot, so she hurriedly reached over and touched his face, and said with concern: "It's not hot, right?" ”

"It's okay, the spatula is too heavy"

In the countryside, the big pot cooks rice and stir-fries, the spatula is long and large, and the shovel handle is still made of sturdy and durable miscellaneous wood, although it is not very heavy, but for a twelve-year-old man, it is indeed a little difficult to use.

"Well, it's a little heavier, and I'll ask the third uncle to make a fir spatula in the afternoon."

"Thank you, big sister"

"Thank you, thank you? You're a carpenter, and you still want me to talk about it? ”

Seeing that Li Jiaming was fine, the eldest sister picked up the chopsticks and tasted the freshly fried beans, and praised: "Well, the taste is not bad, even better than the second sister's fried beans." ”

"Isn't the eldest sister teaching well?"

Li Jiaming's sycophant made the eldest sister very useful, gently twisted his face, and scolded with a smile: "Your mouth is so sweet, no wonder adults like you, even the eldest aunt said hello to the fourth aunt last night." ”

"Hey, hey, hey", this time Li Jiaming's silly music made the eldest sister look very pleasing to the eye.

Watching Li Jiaming finish frying beans, eggplant, and green pumpkin, the eldest sister tried the taste one by one, and said with satisfaction: "You can leave the school, and the eldest sister will not come in the future, be careful yourself." Remember to save the charcoal after stir-frying, you can roast the fire in the cold weather, and save yourself from burning charcoal in the mountains. ”

"Hey", Li Jiaming agreed, shoveled out the fiery charcoal in the stove with a fire shovel, put out the fire with water before taking it to the water tank, and then put it in the broken basket at the back door of the kitchen. The eldest sister saw that a layer of charcoal had accumulated in the basket, and nodded with satisfaction, "Yes, I know how to run a house." I'm gone, and I'm going home to pigweed. ”

"Oh", Li Jiaming hurriedly put down the shovel and went to help the eldest sister put the heavy back on her still thin shoulders.

"Mingya, I'll tell Jiade when I go back, let him tutor you. Hmph, don't count on it, uncle. Don't run around in the afternoon, you know? ”

"Oh", Li Jiaming agreed with a bitter face, he admitted that the fourth brother was a monster, but it was not a pleasant thing to ask for a little monster who had not yet become a big monster to tutor another big monster with a super old mental age.

"Not happy? Let me tell you, when my father-in-law was alive, he always said, 'Everything is inferior, only reading is high' (everything is inferior, only reading is high'). If we don't know how to study anymore, we can only be regarded as a field guy for a lifetime (for a lifetime)!

Don't you see that my mother can't get along with my aunt, and she still has four cubs who can read? The eldest sister doesn't want to do things, and when she knows that she wants to study, it's too late, and the second sister and the third sister don't want to do anything more than the eldest sister, don't you learn from our bad example, you know? ”

The eldest sister's words can be described as profound and profound, and when she heard such words from her mouth, which was pungent and unmistakable, Li Jiaming was a little stunned for a while.

"Do you hear that?"

"I heard you!"

Li Jiaming hurriedly agreed, which satisfied the eldest sister and went home with a back full of pigweed.

Looking at the eldest sister's slender but thin back, and there is also a regretful back, Li Jiaming suddenly remembered the full sister and the little sister. Children in the countryside want to have a better future, except for a few lucky and capable, most of them have to go to school.

The talents of the full sister and the little sister are not the kind of outstanding girls, and they are girls that rural people don't pay attention to. If she doesn't teach it herself, she will go out to work, return to her hometown to give birth, and eventually become a rural woman who revolves around her children, stoves, mountains, fields, and pig houses.
